#UgandaDecides: Yoweri Museveni Wins Election

Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni extends his 30 year regime today in light of the Ugandan elections held this week. #UgandaDecides was rife with political turmoil, ballot discrepancy and rapturous violence.

One of Africa’s longest-serving leaders, Museveni won 60.8 percent of the vote, while opposition candidate Kizza Besigye secured 35.4 percent, according to the electoral commission.

Besigye did not lose quietly as he and his party members are calling the elections one of the most fraudulent ever to be conducted. The nation of 37 million has been rife with corruption and alleged repression by the newly re-elected president.

Representatives in Europe and the US as well as Ugandan citizens also weighed in to criticize how the election was conducted.
